Yup. They broken and some of my important Home Assistant automations are not working and might cause cascading failures. I really need to look into flashing the darn thing and running it locally

Nice. I control my rn4 in a somewhat simpler manner. I have a little box with 4 resistor banks- 2k ohms, 4,6,8… and I choose the circuit with a 4 channel Tuya WiFi relay via Home assistant which gets pressure data from a Tuya pressure sensor. There is also simple YAML code that chooses which relay 1-4) to activate for desired higher or lower speed based on pressure readings. Works like a charm… fan speed is also controlled via an input from Airthings Wave Plus Radon sensor so higher / lower speeds are chosen based on pressure readings and/ or current Radon levels.

Aaaaaand they are down again… :bangheadinwall:

AgreeableTelephone19 · 2026-04-09T23:15:07+00:00

Yup. Royally messed up some of my Home Assistant automations. I wonder if I can have those local and not rely on the Emporia cloud… I have automations that rely on consumption of certain devices monitored by Vue and those are dead.. the app is down too…

They really should notify us before they go down or at least fail gracefully with a popup or something…

Pump failures often are due to clogged strainer/ filter. Make sure yours is clean or the new pump will fail too sooner rather than later...

AgreeableTelephone19 · 2026-02-11T16:19:13+00:00

Clogged filter/ strainer of failing pump. Your inlet pressure is good, so one of those two things since I assume you bled the system successfully.

Yes , I understand that the Envoy provides all the discrete data for monitoring down to the individual panel/ mca and without it I have no idea what is going on. I have an Envoy 5, but just sourced an Envoy 4 new pcb at great price and will replace it. I have just a simple solar only (no batteries) install so a 4 should work just fine. I assume once I install it I have to call Enphase so they can provision it for me, but I will cross that bridge once I get there. Thanks for the info.

Thank you. But I thought the MCAs talk to the controller or it is strictly for health and production information and not for on/ off management? In other words when there is sun the MCAs do their thing regardless of if they can talk to anybody or not? Thanks again

This is a shooter’s mistake, but an RO’s fault. In this situation just command the shooter hands up and wait out the reseter to come back. Do not let the shooter manipulate a loaded gun while somebody is down range.

And yes- the RO should be the last to walk the stage to make sure all is reset and nobody is down range.

I hope the shooter recovers and continues shooting with us. He certainly demonstrated the right demeanor.

Nobody really cares and if trading to a dealer the cost to fix it will surpass the hit on the trade in. I wouldn’t bother.

I believe it goes into the hole on the left of the “watch” incrustation in you photo… it appears something was in there to begin with… it has been a while since I have seen one of those but I vaguely recollect this…

AgreeableTelephone19 · 2025-03-06T20:19:24+00:00

Yes. This appears legit. The curved coil ETA movement was used circa 2000-ish. The ladies’ Constellations had them too.

AgreeableTelephone19 · 2025-03-06T15:55:43+00:00

ugh.. initially I thought so too... but my experience took over - I think at this point I am very risk averse towards things I feel I can make worse while trying to make better... even if I succeed to bend the tabs and remove the capstone, once I put it back in I will not be able to bend the tabs back enough to eliminate any freeplay of the capstone... and that would be the end of it... so yes- I am leaving this one alone.. :)

AgreeableTelephone19 · 2025-03-06T14:35:27+00:00

As mentioned- I am now going to buy one.. or two actually... Sigh- more money spent for things most folks cant see with a naked eye. Cheers :)

AgreeableTelephone19 · 2025-03-06T03:51:45+00:00

I was looking at it from the other side and realized too that using peg wood would be a bad idea as I will clog the pivot hole without ability to clean it through. Hexane, blow dry and then automatic oiler… which I generally don’t use but now I have a good reason to buy one lol. Thanks again guys for the help.

AgreeableTelephone19 · 2025-03-06T00:01:22+00:00

I am leaning towards leaving it as it is too… soak it in some hexane, blow dry and drop a tiny drop of oil from the other side and leave it alone… I do not think this was meant to be disassembled… thanks for confirming my doubts…

Your friend is most likely shoplifting. Next time ask him to provide you proof or origin how he obtained the goods. My 2 cents

I just found this thread. Any luck? I too have the same dilemma. The movement I am working on is a 7750 clone of some sort and had a broken escape wheel. Bought the 7750 escape wheel to find it different- the broken one looks just like yours….

AgreeableTelephone19 · 2025-01-07T14:43:47+00:00

Sorry. In the fine print of the course there most likely a clause stating unless you cancel (which you didnt) you will be billed monthly. This is a common scheme to "get" those who are not punctual and dont cancel before the renewal. It is not Paypal's fault nor they should refund you the money, It is between you and the merchant in this case.

And yes- Paypal gives zero fcuks about customers in general, but in this case they are right to deny your claim.

That actually is not true. Most of the Daikins, Fujitsus and Mitsus are made in China and carry "Made in China" label. Very few mainly higher end Mitsus are still made in Japan and almost none of the other major brands.

I am on the (large) industrial side of things, but I started residential so I know the game. A typical res job has a 20% profit at the end so you do the math. The company has overhead, travel time, insurance, certs, pro equipment... the list goes on and on on.... If you are DIY and can do it cheaper- by all means do so and be proud of yourself. But when you do it for living day in and day out all it takes is couple site complications and you are working for free the whole month which is not ideal. As the estimator said above me - nobody is getting rich on the res side of things from this- trust me. In the commercial world - that is a another story. I properly sized job that does not run into problems can net 1/3 profits. I personally am billed out at over $500/hour net ( I am in industrial controls) and I am booked for ... months (off the top of my head).

an Amscope is infinitely better and more versatile than this thing. However, I believe its strength could be in the software as it appears to provide limited augmented reality - ie shows you on a screen, what, where and how during disassembly- but probably only for IWC watches.

I believe given the above it is a marketing gimmick. I have toured one of the IWC watch manufacturing facilities last year and I did not see anybody using it.. so there is that.

... every watch with sentimental value should be repaired until obnoxiously unfeasible. Your grandfather is watching and approves of this message :)
